Rotowire
Knueppel logged 33 points (11-20 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during the Hornets' 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.
The No. 4 overall pick paced the Hornets on offense during Friday's loss, tallying 27 of his game-high 33 points between the second and third quarters. It was the third time this season that Knueppel connected on seven triples in a game, and he was one shy from tying a career high that he set against the Mavericks on Jan. 29. He should operate in an elevated role against the Wizards on Sunday, as that will be the last game Miles Bridges will be forced to miss while serving a four-game suspension.

Knueppel's shooting touch was on full display Monday, as the rookie knocked down a game-high five three-pointers, matching Detroit's entire team total from beyond the arc. He's now reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests and has hit five-plus threes in 15 games this season. Selected No. 4 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, Knueppel has handled the expectations well and continues to back up the hype with high-level production.

Knueppel totaled 34 points (10-16 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 win over the Mavericks.
Cooper Flagg remains the best rookie in this year's class, but Knueppel has been better than advertised and has emerged as a key player for the Hornets already.
